MELSEC-F series PLC built-in pulse output functions and positioning functions

FX3S, FX3G, FX3GC, FX3UC series positioning function (main unit: transistor output type)

- Low cost system can be realized without any special expansion devices dedicated for positioning.
- 1-speed positioning and repetitive positioning can be easily performed by the PLC alone.
- Dedicated positioning instructions are built-in. With the new batch setting positioning instruction (DTBL),
positioning can be executed just by specifying in the PLC program the number of a positioning operation set in GX Developer.
(FX3S: DTBL instruction is not supported) - 3 independent axes can output maximum 100 kHz pulse train from outputs Y000, Y001, Y002 (transistor output).
(FX3S and FX3G 14 pt/24 pt models and FX3GC have 2 independent axes)
Example system configuration

- *1FX3S and FX3G 14 pt/24 pt models and FX3GC have 2 independent axes.
